Implementation

This project is a proof-of-concept implementation of a playable real-time video game using the Aardvark Platform scientific visualization toolset. It was initially created as part of an internship at VRVis. Features include:

• Elm-style ("model-view-update") application structure using FSharp.Data.Adaptive/Adaptify and aardvark.rendering's ISg graphics API.
• Heavy use of aardvark.rendering's automatic instancing (Sg.instanced) and FShade for high performance rendering
• Implementation of the Level of Detail renderer in aardvark.algodat to render Minecraft-style worlds
• Parser for Minecraft world files
• simple multiplayer using dotnet websockets
